An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobile suspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors.
Torsion bar suspension of a Citroën Traction Avant, with the torsion bar attached to the lower control arm. A control arm may be used to carry the suspension load and transmit them to the spring or shock absorber. [4] Torsion bar suspension commonly does this, with the outboard end of the torsion bar attached to the inboard bearing of the ...
A link differs from a control arm because it can only control one of the degrees of freedom by itself. In the attached photo of a 5-link live axle suspension, the different types of links can be seen. These links work in tandem with the coil springs, dampers, and sway bar to control all six degrees of freedom of the axle. The upper links ...
The interconnection is made up of hydraulic piping and a control cylinder which is located at the frame rail. [2] KDSS, which is fully mechanical, can disengage the stabilizer bars (the bars are jointed, allowing movement independent of one another). [2] This system will not engage during normal driving conditions, when hydraulic pressure is equal.
A multi-link suspension is a type of independent vehicle suspension having three or more control links per wheel. [1] These arms do not have to be of equal length, and may be angled away from their "obvious" direction. It was first introduced in the late 1960s on the Mercedes-Benz C111 [2] and later on their W201 and W124 series. [3] [4]
The camber control arm regulates the movement of the lower arm, so when the suspension reacts to a uneven road surface, the upper part of the upright pulls inward, causing the camber angle to change negatively. Note that the inclination of the strut body may be opposite to that of the MacPherson strut type.
